His Eminence Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche-Healing Mahasiddha

[mountains]

Very devoted disciple of His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, is HE Gangchen Rinpoche. HE Gangchen Rinpoche has been true to the lineage of Zong Rinpoche and faithfully practices Dorje Shugden. He is open and honest about it. For this he is considered an enemy of Tibetans by the Tibetan Government in exile. And for his practice of Dorje Shugden he has been expelled from Sera Mey Monastery of which he has brought much financial benefit in the past.

Rinpoche has his own illustrious Monastery in Tibet very nearby Tashi Lunpo also which is rebuilt. His current and previous incarnations are very close to the line of Panchen Lamas. He has tremendous healing powers and his line of incarnations are known to be powerful healers. When Rinpoche built his current healing and meditation centre in Nepal, there was no water. Upon Rinpoche's arrival at the site, a spring naturally sprung forth  and until this day providing water for the whole meditation and healing centre. They make their own medicines their, they have a free school, guest house, also traditional Tibetan furniture making premises.

He has many teachings, videos and books out that Rinpoche has authored specifically for modern day healing incorporating ancient tantric meditations with modern excercises. Rinpoche mentioned that before he started these healing excercises he consulted Dorje Shugden through his medium. Dorje Shugden said it would be very beneficial and that he should definitely make known these practices.  Speak, teach and write regarding these practices. That it would benefit many. With that, Rinpoche has embarked on his highly successful body and mind tantric healing excercises that the Tibetan Government in exile vehemently ridicules, and discourages on their 'official' websites. How sad, as such a powerful incarnate lama if the Tibetan Government makes 'friends' with would be to their benefit. HE Gangchen Rinpoche's only 'crime' is that he practices Dorje Shugden.

The Tibetan Government also criticizes him for going to Beijing to 'pay respects' to the Chinese endorsed Panchen Lama. When asked why Gangchen Rinpoche does that, he says, dont antagonize China further. We are a small group of people against the might of all China. We cannot win, so it is better to make friends with them.  The important issue is to have some autonomy in Tibet to save the culture, and the spiritual practices while there is time otherwise it will be lost Rinpoche mentions. So Rinpoche's motive to meet the China endorsed Panchen lama is to make China 'happy' so their stance in Tibet would be less harsh. He mentions he has no intention of disrespect toward HH the Dalai Lama or the Panchen Lama that HH Dalai Lama endorses.

Gangchen Rinpoche mentions that HH the Dalai Lama is the guru of all Tibet, how can we go 'against' him. Why would we?  We would not think of that. But he has commitments to do his Dorje Shugden practice as recieved by HH Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang.  His practice of Dorje Shugden is not meant as something against HH the Dalai Lama. Gangchen Rinpoche believes that Trijang Rinpoche gave that practice to help spiritual practitioners to overcome their heavy kaliyuga obstacles not something to harm HH the Dalai Lama. Trijang Rinpoche would have no such intentions. Dorje Shugden practices originally was not intended for that purpose at all. And it remains the same now.

Also to stop a practice given by a lama, you must ask the permission of the lama you received it from. Any lama CANNOT OVERRIDE THE COMMAND OF YOUR lama or any other lama from whence you recieved the practice from. Since Trijang Rinpoche gave the practice and he has passed, Gangchen Rinpoche wouldnt have the chance to ask Trijang Rinpoche to be excused from it. But since HH the Dalai Lama is advising not to worship, and he is alive, then it would make more sense that Gangchen Rinpoche requests the Dalai Lama to allow him to practice to continue practicing.

Gangchen Rinpoche comes from a long line of Healing lamas. His lineage started originally from the Indian Mahasiddha Darikapa. Those of you who have great fortune should recieve healing practices from the Lord of the healing Yogis, His Eminence Gangchen Rinpoche of Sera Mey and Gangchen Monastery Tibet DIRECTLY. It is highly efficacious and powerful. Having a strong body, and long life can very much allow us freedom to practice the holy dharma. From time to time for those fortunate to request, HE Gangchen Rinpoche also bestows the life entrustment initiation of Dorje Shugden. He will conferr upon request. It is best you have one of the annutaratantra initiations prior as a prerequesite to recieve.

Gangchen Rinpoche is also famous and a reknowned practitioner of the kurukulle, Oserchenma, Kalachakra, Yamantaka, Heruka and Vajra Yogini tantras among many practices. He is a master of the construction of their mandalas. If one has the great fortune to be in Italy, one must visit Rinpoche at his retreat centre there situated near a lake. He has very special connection to the healing practices for many types of diseases. His practices that he has conferred to people in the past has expedited the healing of certain cancers among other diseases. He is famous for his pills and healing skin pills also for skin ailments.

Being in Rinpoche's presence, one can feel great love, high wisdom and one of the last masters trained in Tibet. How fortunate Rinpoche's powerful incarnation is among us.

Thank you Mountains for a short and inspiring text on Gangchen Rinpoche.

I note this in particular:

"Gangchen Rinpoche mentions that HH the Dalai Lama is the guru of all Tibet, how can we go 'against' him.
Why would we?  We would not think of that.
But he has commitments to do his Dorje Shugden practice as recieved by HH Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang. 
His practice of Dorje Shugden is not meant as something against HH the Dalai Lama.
Gangchen Rinpoche believes that Trijang Rinpoche gave that practice to help spiritual practitioners to overcome their heavy kaliyuga obstacles not something to harm HH the Dalai Lama.
Trijang Rinpoche would have no such intentions. Dorje Shugden practices originally was not intended for that purpose at all. And it remains the same now.

It is all logical, and respectable.
Sometimes, we think in ways so as "not to get in trouble", and this attitude is selfish for trouble is inevitable on one spiritual journey.
A spiritual person is a rebel in many ways, and trouble (appearing as trouble) will need to be dealt with.
Gangchen Rinpoche's Guru devotion made him have to face the status of an out-cast from a portion of the Tibetan community, but doing otherwise and "stay out of trouble" would have been nothing short of a lack of confidence in his Gurus.

This is not the stereotype case whereby if one is restricted by another party in terms of freedom , then that restricting party becomes one's enemy. This is exactly the example shown by gangchen rinpoche.

For him to label the Dalai Lama would be so easy and such an easy way out. But he choose to practise the dharma and that is follow his teacher's instructions and to carry on practising dorje shugden. And what a job he has done by engaging in spiritual practise, how many people have benefited from this great healing lama's practices all over the world.

I have heard of many fabulous stories about H.E Gangchen Rinpoche, H.E no doubt is an erudite and loyal student to His Gurus, not only did He hold his samaya well and clean, H.E's clean samaya and practise have also allowed Him to perform miraculous acts to help people all around the world! I truly wish that I'd have the merits to meet H.E in person.

His Eminence Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche is a true Mahasiddha who shows us he can respect the Dalai Lama and practice His Guru's teachings and instruction at the same time. Isn't that what Buddhism all about. In the midst of samsara nothing is pure except an enlightened mind with Boddhicitta like a lotus on muddy water. Isn't that what the Buddha and all the great Masters taught us, to use the very delusion of samsara to bring about enlightenment? Otherwise how can we practice?

I find this article on H.E. Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche very interesting. It is an eye-opener and reveals aspects of this great master which I didn't know before. In my opinion, H.E. Gangchen Rinpoche displays true guru devotion and great wisdom. He is a great mahasiddha and benefits many people through his healing powers. Even though he was expelled from his monastery because of his practice of Dorje Shugden, he remains respectful of H.H. the Dalai Lama. There is no ill feeling and Rinpoche only gives practical advice to people regarding the approach to take towards China. For me, His Eminence is a bodhisattva who shows love and compassion for all beings. May Rinpoche live long and continue to turn the wheel of Dharma.
